[abhi patil]

Hi Guys,

I am very new to linux and i want to set apache web server. To set it i require to have gcc so that i can compile and make file.
I dont have any C compiler on my fedora 15 machine. I want to install gcc 4.7 but i am not able to do that . I found an rpm of it gcc-4.7.1-1.fc18.x86_64.rpm and i tried installing it but it asks for too many dependincies some of them i installed but some i wasnt able to install. Also this rpm is not from any reknowned site

below is the error that i get

open a terminal and run this command

sudo yum -y install gcc

Yum will resolve dependencies for you automatically. I would recommend following this approach for installing software on the system.

@OP if you need to install gcc 4.7 on F15, you have to compile it from sources.

No, installing apache httpd doesn't require installing GCC. All that is needed is:

yum install httpd

To install a complete web server with all the usual components do:

yum groupinstall "Web Server"
